Will the Circadian T3 Method still work... ?

[piri-piri]

Hi Paul!

Does this method require that you get up at the same time every day? I go to work mon - to thursday, then 3 days off before a new week at work. On my workdays, I get up at 06.30, but in weekends I usually sleep until around 9. Is a sleep rhythm like this a problem for the cortisol production? Does this mean that my cortisol production could be interrupted or decreased in the important last 4 hours of sleep, on days when I get up early?

I am now on a combination of Armour and Levaxin (synthetic T4 medication), 50/50. Will the Circadian T3 Method still work, or does it require Armour or T3 only?

This is very interesting, and I am looking forward to read your answer
Bettie.

I pick up this thread again - haven't been at the computer for some hours ... Is it still possible to get a comment?

Hi Bettie B!
Since I have read the book, I can try to answer at least one of your questions. If you want to use the circadian T3 method to heal your adrenals, I think it's important to keep a steady sleep pattern. But as far as I understand this, these nighttime doses are only necessary for a period of time, some months maybe. And when your adrenals are up for it, you can go back to take your first dose after you get up in the morning. But when you have reached this point, I'm not really sure if those morning doses needs to be at the same time every day.

Comment to my last post: I just read Paul's answer to a similar question in another forum. I guess it's okay for Paul that I copy and paste here, cause it will take some work load off his shoulder.

I'm not sure how many people will be able to stop using the CT3M. It depends if their issue is simply one of getting the correct levels and then having them be self-sustaining. I still need to use the CT3M - if I stop my cortisol drops like a rock. Some will need to always do it. Some won't and there is no way of knowing who is who. My suspicion is that those on NDT may have a greater chance of not having to always do it because their FT3 is going to be more even.
